Today, the LAWMA Academy February intern squad (Team Eco-heroes) got a firsthand look at how trash becomes treasure at the Miketilda recycling hub, Ikorodu, Lagos.
Mrs. Olakudun Taiwo guided them through the fascinating journey of plastic transformation, from washing PET bottles and processing them into lumps to grinding, pelletizing, and finally treatment with moisturizer to create something entirely new.
Seeing how those discarded plastics become everyday essentials like packaging nylon, bricks, tiles, and even shoes.
One person’s trash truly is another’s global export.
This experience has inspired us to think differently about “waste"—it"'s not a waste until we waste it!
